About Thomas
- What kind of experience do you have?
As a pedagogue, I have been teaching privately since I was a student at Birmingham Conservatoire. I am currently a cello tutor for 'Services for Education - Music Service' in Birmingham, with experience teaching students ranging from Juniors to Sixth Form. I have taken orchestral sectional rehearsals for orchestras based in Birmingham and in June 2016, enjoyed coaching chamber groups as a guest tutor at the Sheffield Academy of Music.
My performing career began as a Postgraduate student. Having already performed at the Conservatoire concert series' on numerous occasions, I have performed recitals in venues across the country and have appeared as soloist with orchestras based in Birmingham, Redditch, South Wales, Swindon and Wolverhampton.
A keen chamber musician, I have performed chamber works at the Wigmore Hall, the BBC Proms and live on BBC Radio 3 as part of the 2016 'Sounds of Shakespeare' Festival. I have recently performed with renowned chamber musicians violinists Suzanne Stanzeleit and Simon Smith, baritone Roderick Williams, pianist Iain Burnside and violist Robin Ireland.
